Chapter 27 Safe Haven
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
The cold wave arrived as expected!
The sky in the area where the Mirror Lake Forest is located seemed to be filled with gray and white slurry, churning endlessly.
The blizzard ravaged the world with the strong wind, covering the entire Mirror Lake Forest, and only the terrifying wind whistled.
Yu Ke, who had just finished a hot shower, stood by the window, looking at the chaotic scene outside the camp. While he was shocked, he was also glad that he had renovated and reinforced the camp in advance.
Although the patrol camp was also covered by the blizzard, compared with the miserable scene in the Mirror Lake Forest, there was an outer defense line blocking this side, and at most a few layers of snow would accumulate. After the first wave of heavy snowfall ended, it would be cleaned up soon.
Sitting at the workbench, Yu Ke opened the internal chat group of the patrol hunters and scooped the delicious snake soup into his mouth with a spoon.
As one of the few people who had to stick to their posts during the cold wave, the patrol hunters established an internal chat group after communicating with each other.
In order to avoid being isolated and helpless in case of an accident during the snowstorm.
After all, in this environment, the transfer station, which is nearly two hours away from Jinghu Forest, can provide very limited help, which is far less than the help provided by colleagues nearby.
Yu Ke ate snake soup and looked at the pictures and short videos posted by colleagues in the chat group with interest.
Some of the photos were taken of the forest before the blizzard and now, and some were the interiors of the camps of the rangers, drinking beer, eating barbecue, and curling up in bed with a pipe in their mouths to read classic literature and imitate celebrities.
Sticking to the post did not prevent the rangers from taking a short rest during this cold wave.
At least when the wind and snow were raging outside, both the beasts and the poachers had to be forced to stay quiet for a while.
Therefore, the group of more than 30 people was very lively, with various messages, pictures and videos on the screen, and some people were making appointments to play games, saying that they had downloaded popular online games in advance and bought helmets to increase the gaming experience.
It’s not that there are only 30 rangers, but there are only so many rangers in the northeastern forest area of Jinghu Forest where Yu Ke is located.
Judging from the resources consumed by each ranger camp, this is not a small number.
As a newcomer, Yu Ke should have become a small transparent person in this lively discussion, because the others are old hunters who have been on the job for two or three years and know each other. As a result, because of the hunting log series of videos, he has become a person who is often x-on:in the chat group.
Because the information of rangers under the jurisdiction of the Forestry Protection Bureau is originally announced to the public, and Yu Ke’s previous deeds of hunting mandrills have been publicized, anyone who knows a little about this can guess that he is the recent hot figure.
Not to mention his colleagues who are also rangers.
After Yu Ke joined the discussion, he was asked about the hunting of giant pythons as expected. He was also very sociable and posted several unpublished video clips, which caused everyone to exclaim, and immediately set off a discussion about rangers shooting hunting videos.
Yo~ Yo~
Just as Yu Ke was typing on the keyboard, preparing to join a game group, a faint sound outside the house caught his attention.
The Heart of the Wilderness strengthened his hearing, and the perception ability brought by checking for omissions and filling gaps was greatly improved, allowing him to capture some subtle noises.
Even under the premise of concentrating his attention, Yu Ke was able to eliminate the noise in the environment and amplify the sound of the target.
Putting down the snake soup, Yu Ke walked to the window and looked in the direction of the sound, and soon found a familiar figure outside the camp.
The King of Shocked Horned Deer who had fought side by side not long ago!
Obviously, the intensity of this cold wave has exceeded the limit that the Shocked Horned Deer can withstand.
The area where Danhang City is located was only minus ten degrees in the coldest winter in previous years, and the current outdoor temperature is approaching minus thirty degrees, and it may continue to drop in the future. Coupled with the unprecedented blizzard, there is no doubt that the environment is harsh.
After all, the frightened deer are not those beasts that are good at hibernating in caves or tree holes. There is no doubt that long-term exposure to extremely low temperature wind and snow will harm the deer. Adult frightened deer have undergone alienation and can withstand for a period of time with thick fur and fat. Young frightened deer may die if they are not careful in the face of such a natural disaster.
Realizing that the frightened deer king may come to seek help, Yu Ke hurriedly changed into cold-proof clothes and left the sentry tower.
Braving the howling wind and snow to come to the outside of the camp, Yu Ke looked at the frightened deer king covered with frost and snow. The latter took two steps forward, lowered his head slightly and placed a palm-sized light green fruit in front of Yu Ke.
Qingling Fruit: After taking it, it can slightly enhance the cardiopulmonary capacity.
The newly obtained leak-filling trait quickly gave Yu Ke the characteristics of this bunch of fruits, and Yu Ke took it in his hand with some surprise.
No extra communication was needed. Yu Ke knew that this was the reward given by the Shocked Horned Deer King, so he made way for it to enter the camp.
Compared to the extremely harsh environment of the Mirror Lake Forest, the patrol camp had no roof or heating facilities, but the outer defense line and snow fence were enough to create a suitable shelter for the deer.
The Shocked Horned Deer King quickly entered the patrol camp, constantly looking around the camp, as if he was estimating something.
Taking this opportunity, Yu Ke also launched a check and fill in the gaps, and the corresponding information appeared.
Shocked Horned Deer King: After many changes, he has mastered superpowers and can launch superpower attacks within a certain range, which is extremely powerful.
'It is indeed a super creature, and it is an extremely rare superpower. No wonder the intelligence is so high. '
Superpowers can be manifested in various forms, and telekinesis is the most common. There are also superhumans who have similar abilities among humans. The leader of the currently famous Longxin Hunting Group is a well-known superpower.
It is rumored that he can lift a car from a distance and smash it at the target, and can also create a barrier that can resist bullets. He is famous among the hunter community.
After checking the situation inside the patrol camp, the Shocked Horned Deer King returned to the outside of the camp and suddenly looked up to the sky and roared.
Soon, Yu Ke saw figures emerging one after another in the white snowstorm. About a dozen old and young frightened deer leaned on each other and walked in front. They were in very bad condition and staggered when they walked.
After entering the forest patrol camp, they found an open space to lie down and panted.
There were also more than 20 strong frightened deer carrying a lot of hay on their horns.
Yu Ke stood at the door of the camp and watched in surprise as these strong frightened deer put down the hay and left the camp, returning to the snowstorm and disappearing.
The frightened deer king walked around the camp again, and after shouting several times to appease the old and weak, he returned to the door.
The deer needed to eat, and the frightened deer king obviously knew that Yu Ke had no grass supply at all.
From the beginning, it had no intention of bringing the entire tribe in to avoid the wind and snow. It just wanted Yu Ke to help settle these old and weak ones. As for the food they needed, the mature frightened deer would prepare it in the Mirror Lake Forest and then send it over.
Yo~
Before leaving, the frightened deer king looked at Yu Ke, then turned to the old and weak ones curled up in the corner of the camp and called out softly.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of them."
Yu Ke knew clearly that this was a great opportunity for him to build a good relationship with the frightened deer king.
All he had to do was provide a safe haven for these old and weak frightened deer.
